Formerly Feral Friday

Just getting a peek of eyes and ears and a little paws from Miss Gracie.

Now onto an annoying topic:WORD VERIFICATION!

Oh, yeah,uh huh. I can pretty much make out one word but the other? I'm afraid if your blog is still using Google's Word Verification, especially after this latest generation of Word Verification, you'll probably not see fewer and fewer comments from me. And many others.

I am very sorry. I ab-sooo-lutely hate it.

For those of you who are worried about spammers if you'd just set your Blogger's Settings to 'Moderate Comments after 1 day' you will probably eliminate the spam up to 99.99999% of the time. I did it and I've had perhaps one or two slip by but I just go into Comments and delete them.

I have seen so many comments on blogs that have Word Verification where commentators are saying how horrid this is and guess what?Those folks who you want to leave comments: can't.There is frustration.So after you try a couple of times, you simply give up because the "words" are too hard to decipher.

So...as much as I adore your blogs if I can't understand the Word Verifications I won't be able to leave you a comment.Me and a lot of others.

I hear you about word varification! this new version is awful! I'm glad I disabled mine ages ago. And you know what, I have had one spam comment go through that the spam catcher missed. And it was no big deal to delete it. I've never seen tons of spam on anyones comments, so I dont know why anyone uses it. Ok, off my soap box! MOL

I was out of town for 4 days and didn't know about the comment situation until I returned.

Thankfully before i left I turned comment moderation off because I wasn't able to moderate comments while out of town.

I am glad I turned it off! I am also having HUGE trouble leaving comments and can only read one of the two words myself. I probably will do what you are doing and if I can't read the words I will just hit the road.

We have a hard time with teh new word verification on blogger now and hold our breath that we got the words right! we took it off of our bloggie and we've gotten a few spam comments, but at least the spam filter has caught them. We put comment moderation on posts over 14 days old. Purrs,

Good post! We almost posted on this the first day - Thursday? - but waited till Saturday. So many bloggers are turning WV off. Some don't even know they had it on since the blog owner can't see it. And then when they're made aware, they can't find it.
